The lead who reaches out is also reaching out to your competitors. Move the sliders to see how much revenue slow follow-up quietly costs you — and what answering instantly recovers.
An AI that answers instantly, 24/7, closes this gap.
*Illustrative model based on the widely-documented “5-minute rule” in lead-response research: the odds of reaching and qualifying a lead drop sharply the longer you wait. The factors here are a conservative estimate, not a specific study’s numbers — your real results will vary. SeldonFrame is $29/mo flat and responds the instant a lead comes in.
Frequently asked questions
What is speed-to-lead, and why does it matter so much?
Speed-to-lead is how long it takes you to respond after someone reaches out. Lead-response research keeps finding the same pattern — the “5-minute rule”: the odds of actually reaching and qualifying a lead drop sharply the longer you wait, because they're also contacting your competitors.
How is the lost revenue estimated?
It's a simple, transparent model: your close rate when you reply fast, multiplied by a reach-and-qualify factor that falls as your response time grows. The gap between replying instantly and replying at your current speed is the revenue left on the table. The factors are a conservative estimate, not a specific study's numbers — your real results will vary.
How does an AI agent fix slow follow-up?
It responds the instant a lead comes in — call, text, form or chat — 24/7, asks the qualifying questions, and books the appointment before the lead moves on. No lead sits in an inbox waiting for someone to get to it.
